Da Goddess links to Channel News Asia:
London's Mayor Ken Livingstone who is in Singapore for the IOC Session has condemned the attacks on the city's rail and bus systems....
"This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful; it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers; it was aimed at ordinary working class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christians, Hindu and Jew, young and old, indiscriminate attempt at slaughter irrespective of any considerations, of age, of class, of religion, whatever, that isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted faith, it's just indiscriminate attempt at mass murder, and we know what the objective is, they seek to divide London. They seek to turn Londoners against each other and Londoners will not be divided by this cowardly attack."
Calblog notes:
Edgeware Road has 9 dead. We stayed across the street on our last trip to London. It was, if memory serves, in a section of the city with a heavily Arabic population. I guess no one is safe.
World Wide Rants:
Maybe this will serve as a reminder to those of you who have inexplicably forgotten there is war of civilizations still raging - and we must win.
And Gindy links to a statement from "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe":
Rejoice, Islamic nation. Rejoice, Arab world. The time has come for vengeance against the Zionist crusader government of Britain in response to the massacres Britain committed in Iraq and Afghanistan....
The heroic mujahedeen carried out a blessed attack in London, and now Britain is burning with fear and terror, from north to south, east to west....
We warned the British government and the British people repeatedly. We have carried out our promise and carried out a military attack in Britain after great efforts by the heroic mujahedeen over a long period to ensure its success....
We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all crusader governments that they will receive the same punishment if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
